1.0 Introduction
SUBJECT:>>> What is DiskPro

DiskPro Hard Drive Upgrader (“the Upgrader”) brings a whole new standard to disk upgrade. The Upgrader expands single or multiple FAT16/FAT32 partition(s) on the fly without requiring any minimum free space on the partition(s), thus allowing expansion of full or almost full partition(s). The Upgrader can convertFAT16 partition(s) to FAT32 partition(s) on the fly as well, making it much easier to take advantage of today’s high capacity hard drives in a single step. The Upgrader performs intelligent copy: it only copies those sectors that are actually used, making it much faster to upgrade a disk.

The Upgrader is flexible and robust, supporting various hard drive configurations and partition layout. Oneadvantage is that the Upgrader comes with different packaging, either software only, or software bundled with F.I.T. Internal Removable rack.

1.1 Purpose of the Hard Drive Upgrader

The Upgrader provides solutions for
• Hard Drive Upgrade
Whether you are simply running out of disk space or upgrading to the latest operating system, whether it’s FAT16 or FAT32, this is thetool that you need.
• FAT16 to FAT32 Conversion[1]
Take advantage of today’s large disk and FAT32’s support of a single large partition (over 2 GB) and efficient use of disk space. No more wasted disk space
or hassle of multiple drive letters.
• Inexpensive Multi-Disk Upgrade (Deluxe ver. or higher)
Turn your PC into a hard drive upgrade duplicator anytimeanywhere.
The Upgrader is especially useful when you upgrade your Windows 95 (or DOS/Windows 3.x) to Windows 98. You can use the Upgrader to copy your current hard drive to a larger one. You then install the new OS on the new larger drive. In case there is any problem installing or running Windows 98, you can always go back to your original system on the older hard drive. Also see section on “FAT16 toFAT32 conversion” for more information.

The Upgrader supports partitions of other non-FAT file system type by performing a sector-by-sector copy (i.e., cloning without expansion). The Upgrader even allows you to “downgrade” from a larger hard drive to a smaller one if it’s determined that the space will fit. This may enable you to recycle some of your older hard drives for backup or other...
